| 2.1 Making Things Bigger | By: Rahma Salih Abdelgadir |
| What is a microscope? | A microscope is an instrument used by scientists to make very small things bigger, so they become visible to us. |
| What is a light microscope? | A light microscope is a type of microscope used by scientists. They have a mirror or a lamp that passes though the specimen, then the light passes though lenses which makes the specimen look bigger. |
| What is the measurement used by scientists for microscopes? | The measurement is a micrometre (μm) this measurement is one-thousandth of a millimetre. This unit of measurement is used for microscopic objects. |
| What is a Stereo microscope? | A stereo microscope is a binocular microscope which is 3D, light shines onto the specimen then reflected back up, after though the lenses to create an image. Although light does not pass though the specimen. |

| What is a specimen? | A specimen is an object which is being looked at and studied though a microscope. |
| What is an image? | An image is an object being seen though a microscope. |
| What are the two types of light microscopes? | They are two types of light microscopes are; 1. Dark-field microscope which is an ultra microscope, 2. Phase-Contrast microscope. |
| What an electron microscope? | An electron microscope is very powerful microscope. Electron microscopes use beams of tiny particles named electrons instead of light. They are able to magnify to a million times. |
| What is magnification? | Magnification is magnifying in a microscope and tells you How much bigger an image is from its normal state. |
| What are the two types of electron microscopes? | The two types of electron microscopes are; transmission electron microscopes (TEM) and scanning electron microscopes (SEM). |
| What are the lenses in a light microscope? | The lenses found in a light microscope are; 1) the ocular, or eyepiece lens that a scientist looks though and 2) the objective lens, or the lens closest to the object or specimen. |
| What are two differences with SEM AND TEM? | |
| Name label 3 and its job | The objective lens and its job is to look at the specimen its the closest lens to it. |
